When angels met
Link Posted on
Forgive me if when I yawn like a roaring tiger
Or sleep like a unwashed dripping table cloth
But sometimes I am so sweet as in shading you from the sunray, what a wonderful mountain we had ever seen!
Don’t forget our daily activities; “Hide and Seek”
Sweeping time
Umbrella stealer
And of course the napping hour
As I stepping into my retirement age, I’ll do some recycle works for earning some pocket monies
Beside that, I spent most of my times on creating different kind of sleeping styles and start thinking of what life is all about!
Forgiving me as my sickness getting severe, it always makes me feeling thirsty, I’ve got no choice to sip water on and off, but then you are so gentle to wipe my face and the body dry from getting flu
They said I am an Angel go to you, I said you are my Angel come to me
I know my life is short, but why are they wrapping me like DHL package? At least let me have a chance to hug you…
I heard your sobbing in the morning, while you calling my name, and you saw my foot prints on the floor, you realized I have never left you, yes! yes! I am always in the sunray…
Thank you for resting me here, I know I was well loved by you all, that is good enough. I’ll covered by the greenery and bird chirping and your usual daily meals. Thank you my friend! Just remember my name “Pappu”.

Song of Tamalan
Song of Tamalan
Lovely Tamalan, Graceful Tamalan
A tree sat on the hill
Sydney is having a bun
Picnic by your side
Cappuccino under the sky
Watching birds pass by
Sydney is flying high
Tamalan, I don’t know why?
Green sleeve Tamalan, Smiley Tamalan
A tree stood on the heritage hill
Sydney is having fun
Singing by your side
Swing together with your charming shy
Whispering a dog pass by
Sydney is flying high
Tamalan, could you tell me why?
Hardy Tamalan, Wisely Tamalan
A tree being heritage on our green hill
Sydney heard that and here I am
Waving by your side
Dancing through out the night
Looking for a shining star
Sydney is flying high
My dear Tamalan, can you tell me why?
Let’s look around on the first day of 2016
First dawn of the year
First seashell rush to the shore
First bluish sky watching at me
First person who waving at me
First rubbish which crying at me
First vines that greet me
First coconut tree I feel like climbing
First timber beach bench wet by the First dew
First couple goes separate way
First family starts the First fire
First flower almost drop on my head
First person I say goodbye
First flower smiling at me
First Banyan tree that I have difficulty to hug him
First Rain Tree Community Group I attend
First mangrove river standing by my side
First shadow painted our fruitful journey
With all these fairies under the First sun ray, I wish everybody stay Healthy and Prosperity!
Somebody in this garden
Who is the somebody?
Oh! It is the Madras Thorn ( Pithecellobium duice). A 26 meter tall man sitting in the garden of Armenian Church Of St. Gregory The Illuminator, Singapore.
This unique National Heritage tree, girth 7.4m, crown is bushy and widely spread, dull green in color.
A native of tropical America, it was introduced to the region in the olden day by the Portugese and the Spanish.
Leaves are very special with a pair of leaflet on both sides of the leaf stalk. That’s why a Chinese name “金龟子” was given, literally means a “flying Goliathus”.
Pulp is edible, fruits are coiled pods which ripen a tinge of rose-red in color.
Madras Thorn, was once a common trees planted along roadsides of Singapore. During the 70s, the species was attacked by caterpillars throughout the Singapore. Result in phased out from housing estate and roadsides subsequently.
Next time, if you happen to pass by Hill St, not to forget pay a visit to this lovely tree or even have a glimpse at the bus stop.

I’m always by your side
I’ll always be your pride
To ease your pain
We go for a ride
We walk on the bridge
Everything will be fine
Don’t ask me why
I’m always by your side
I’ll always be your bride
To soften your face
We go for a ride
We walk on the water
Everything will be fine
I don’t know why
I’m always by your side
I’ll always be your pride
To brighten up your day
We go for a ride
You look at the east
Me at the west
Everything will be fine
Don’t ask me why
I’m always by your side
I’ll always be your bride
To alleviate your naughtiness
We go for a ride
You look at the left
Me at the right
Everything seems to be fine
I don’t know why
I just don’t know why
